These programs have a therapeutic, preventing and/or improving to meet the specific need of the child, as determined through scientific based evaluation process. Each program differs according to age, skills and interests of the child.

Why is
Kinderkinetics important at any age?

Research has proven a definite relationship between children with motor deficits and children with low scholastic achievements.

Exercise for children is like medicine and relatively risk free, thus it is important to invest in your child’s health and well-being.

Kinderkinetics forms the basis for school readiness and sport. Kinderkinetics also ensures that each child is equipped with the basic skills for his/her school career.

The window of opportunity (a critical time period to develop a skill) is an important time for the correct stimulation to ensure optimal development. Failing to do may inhibit a child’s learning abilities.

A lack in motor stimulation at an early age may have serious consequences at a later stage, this may lead to permanent deficits.
